A starting point for discussion
The idea
The pattern was not uniform: views did not change on Brexit, while opposition to universal free childcare increased. However, the study could not rule out that the childcare rating shift was due to chance.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
This qualifies reported opinion shifts: results varied by issue, including no change on Brexit and a nonsignificant shift on childcare.
More similar views do not prove that a group has reached agreement
Issue-specific differences limit general claims that deliberation produced a uniform change in views.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The nine questions did not all show movement in the same way. The childcare result pointed toward more opposition, but the study could not rule out that the rating change was due to chance.
Why it matters
These differences caution against treating convergence as a general result for every topic.
